Nxrm3-maven-plugin Staging Plugin Does Not Update Browse Index on Delete

I am testing deployment using org.sonatype.plugins:nxrm3-maven-plugin as described here:
https://help.sonatype.com/en/nexus-repository-maven-plugin.html
When I deploy the artifacts using nxrm3:staging-deploy and then delete them using the nxrm3:staging-delete command, the artifacts are deleted from the repository, but they remain present in the “browse index” of the repository, thus confusing anyone checking the outcome of the operation.
It is possible to schedule a task to repair browse indexes of the repository; however, this is a very expensive operation for large repositories and also it would require granting excessive permissions to people who should not have needed them in the first place.
And by the way, if repairing browse information is being done, the repository is basically unbrowseable, which means almost several hours of downtime for the public repository.
